>Implying this isn't referring to meI appreciate the comment about my rumps though. The Nyqid woulda been more at home in the middle of the ocean anyhow, and the Trelb in some kind of forest-y wetland. And the Ytadati on a mountain of some kind. Not to say they wouldn't have been fine where they were. :b

Name: Kimbii Jittulu'veyagala (just Kimbii for short)

Race: Bulen

Description: (I'll post a picture later, I just need to finish this one I'm drawing) Average size and sort of scrawny, with very dark blue/green iridescent feathers (sort of like this

Spoiler:

He is malicious, quiet, and cunning, although in a real fight he would never win without his many clever tricks. He tends to act overly formal, and he is very full of himself. He likes to wear a lot of beads and accessories to give off some false pretense of the Bulen rendition of royalty (or something, idk, you get my point). He is very likely to turn evil if something pushes him over the edge (if it's okay for me to turn my character evil, that is).

Advantages: Cunning, intelligence, ability to control of mana very well.

Disadvantages: Weak in physical strength, extremely low stamina/endurance, terrible sense of direction. Basically if he ever leaves the safety of the village without someone to protect him he's fucked.

first off there is MANAmana is the primary source of magic in the planetof Albali, it's main kind of "focus" in a sense is with;the earth(ground and rocks), Flora (plants and trees), and Fortify.MANA is hard to manipulate, and actually has a pull on almost all elements known in this universe,so someone versed in MANA can pull off feats regarding all of the planet if they had enough energy and skill.

Then there is CHAK, which focuses on, AIR, WATER, and AURA, CHAK is a strain of MANA that is technically a focused condensed magic that focuses only in tracking the essence of Albali. Unlike MANA which is a physical magic, CHAK is a tracking magic which skilled users can track anything using the wind or the air, or they can scry waters to see the future or past, the ultimate hunting and foreseeing magics

Then there is QIQI focuses in LIGHT, HEALING, and ENERGY. So as MANA influences Albali physically, and CHAK influences it sensually, then QI influences it spiritually through Albali's inhabitants. Masters of QI can mold, heal, bend to their will, the bodies and minds of the creatures around them. it can range from healing their wounds from reading or controlling their minds to sensing the presence of any creature like life form in the area.

----------------------------------------

OTHER INFORMATION

with every form of magic on the planet there is an opposite form.for mana it'sDECAYROTandSYPHON

for CHAK it'sVACUUMDROUGHTandDECREPIT

and for QI it'sDARKPAINandCHAOS/FIREthese forms of practice are considered dangerous, and always have a catch to each form of casting, may it be equal payment, or sacrifice or mental instability, very few attempt to reach these forms of magic

if you notice each form of magic has a sort of BUFF aspect to it, with mana it's FORTIFY, with chak it's AURA, and with QI its HEALING. these are used mainly for boosting of the caster, with AURA one can create an aura of speed, sensing, light, anything to do with the senses, boosting them in a space around the caster with FORTIFY one can create a physical or mental shield, for instance they can cover the caster in stone, or water, or they can but a mental block on ones mind, along with a magical barrier on walls and other objects. and with HEALING the caster can regenerate their health, or energy, along with others or repair broken objects but only with enough training

[POLGRIS] - Stare at hide, privately wonder why the f%#k I bother, and just go ahead and buy it and the focus, selling my old focus if possible.[dialogue: Ask the good Monsieur about the mana crystal before shelling out the insane dosh.Lysard are crazed killing machines, right? Consider encounter level of a Lysard. If I don't personally know, ask Seklim the rock or Shortcut the merchant.]

The Shifty merchant catches a glimpse of innocence in your eye and smirks

POLGRIS:Um, I would like that MANA Catalyst, there and that Lysard hide- if that's not too much trouble?

MERCHANT:Ahhhh sure friend, that is rare eastern Lysard hide and it is quite rare indeed, I'm afraid I must charge erm... Interest for the hide, as for the catalyst well. The price is new low offer just for you friend!

You think for a moment."Well he does say it is rare I can accept the price of that and he IS offering a low price for the Catalyst I might as well go for it"

and without a second thought you purchase the Hide and the Catalyst

As you walk away you think you hear the merchant snicker under his breath"heh what a chump"but you're pretty sure it was just your imagination so you walk away.

(at this point you can just post PASS or you can do another action, PASS will just continue to your quest destination which is the tanner)

KIMBII: ------- [6]

you follow the Civilians advice and not even 10 minutes after leaving the village, you catch a glimpse of a Bor hopping away, you chase after it and over a hill find a solitary Bor nest,"odd" you think to yourself "Bors usually live in packs why is this one alone?"at that point you hear a faint noise, you look down to see and injured Bor, from the looks of it they are the mother of the single egg in the nest. "well this was incredibly easy, they're going to be surprised I made it back so soon"as you reach down to pick up the egg, the Bor mother catches your eye, it looks sad and in pain, and the closer you get to the egg the worse its expression getswhat do you do?

------------------------------------------

VAKARNIS: ------------[2]

you keep fishing and fishing, but to no avail, at this rate you'll never catch any fishnor will you be able to get that lumberthe chief is going to be mad with you, you definitively don't have enough time to get the lumber AND the fish and you will most likely not get any supper at the feast of the wind tonight if the lumber is not retrieved.what do you do?

OH MY GOD CURRAN AHAHA

[KIMBII] : Apprehensively look around for the attacker for a moment. The Bor's wound is fatal. Knowing that the creature is going to die anyways, murmur a few reassuring words to it, and then put it out of its misery.

YOU FISH THE SHIT OUT OF THE RIVERYOU GET SO MUCH DAMN FISH THAT IT COULD FEED THE VILLAGE FOR WEEKSYou then book it to the market in hopes to find lumber...

VARKARNIS -------[2]

with no luck what so ever

but since you fished SO DAMN HARD incredibly quick and efficiently you might just have enough time to gather the lumber, or you can tell the chief that you got stuck fishing for the tribe instead, maybe he'd understand.

------------------------------

POLGRIS: -------[6]

you thoroughly examine it, and it ends up being NOT genuine lysard hide, and you know what you probably heard right the merchant saying that you're a chump"that little-"you say as you turn around to find the merchant and all of his wares are gone.in a fit of rage you swing your newly found MANA catalyst and the crystal dislodges and shatters on the ground.you pause for a moment.then you scream rather loudly "THAT WAS FAKE TOO!"because any good MANA magician knows that the crystal when imbued with MANA fuses with the wood like cement, creating a natural bond allowing MANA to flow from user to catalyst - yadda yadda yadda.

after all this stupidity you sit down. "I should of just got the lysard hide myself" you think you yourself, "but the opportunity to make it easier on me was to tempting"you definitely can't go back to the tanner with this piece of shit, he would SKIN and TAN you instead.what do you do?

------------------------------

KIMBII: ------[4]

you look around to find the attacker feasting on a carcass not too far away, they look almost finishedas for the mother.

KIMBII: ------[2]

you shake and shiver as you get closer to the animal, and that incredibly badly drawn adorable face gets to you and you start weeping a stuffled "STELLAAAAAA" "dammit!" manages to leave your quivering mouth as you gingerly pick up the dying Bor, and cradle it in your arms.

well it seems that your mourning has caught the attention of the attacker and they're charging right towards you!what do you do?

[5]You manage to dodge out of the way of the attacker, which seems to be another Bor

But being rushed you don't have time to think of what to retaliate with so you just point your catalyst and shoot.[3+.5+0] (+1 MANA bonus negated because of non-specific form of casting)

A patch of grass tangles around the foot of the assailant pausing it for a bit, but it easily recovers and is getting ready to attack

----------------------------------------------------

POLGRIS

[6-1] (-1 Navigation)Despite your crummy navigation skills you manage to get yourself to a popular Lysard breading ground

[3]But there doesn't seem to be any Lysard here, why isn't anything going your way today?

----------------------------------------------------

VARKARNIS

[3]You rush over to the fisherman and quickly drop off the massive amount of fish you caught, and because time is of the essence you leave before he can thank you or give you anything in return.

[4-1] (-1 Social)and as for the IOU, you whip up a note telling him that you had to go catch fish, and the lumber will be gotten shortly, but you fail to mention that you are fishing for a villager, and the chief still need the lumber.
